Quick gift card holder

GJA has 3 ladies who share helping with typing financial statements (and other things ) during the year, so decided to get them gift cards.  Two of them like coffee and one is crafty - so he had me get her a gift card from Michaels.

Well, both coffee places had little holders for the cards, but Michael's did not...so he whined about it...with 30 minutes before I was to go out for supper with friends...and he needed it in the morning...SO...I ran to find my gypsy to see if I had the gift card holder that I made a couple of years ago available.  Of course not, I had to re-set my G...so all the files were lost.

I really wanted to go and do my hair and get dressed, so I quickly made one.  I had 2 left over snowflakes from Christmas cards and a bit of embossed paper (that I had inked) and decided to use those.  I cut a rectangle out of white paper, folded it around the GC, glued all but 1 side down...then covered it in stamped snowflakes, slapped on the bit of embossed paper, threw the snowflakes in the xyron, covered them in glitter and slapped the holder together.

GJA thought it was fancy that I had a snowflake glued onto the GC so she could use that to pull out the GC from the holder...its pretty cute, if I do say so myself.
